Internships in Recreation and Leisure Services: A Practical Guide for Students
A good internship brings academic coursework to life and provides work experience and professional contacts that help to ensure a successful professional career. It is the foundation for the future, and like any strong foundation its construction requires time, effort, and the proper tools. The purpose of this text is to give students the proper tools for getting the best possible internship. The fifth edition provides tips and techniques for developing an electronic or scannable resume and offers a comprehensive list of internship-related and job search Web sites. It also includes information about Web resumes, suggestions for creating an electronic portfolio, and an expanded section on traditional print resumes. This fifth edition will serve as a valuable resource for students looking to secure an internship as well as for students seeking employment after graduation.
Each chapter presents information to read and think about , includes exercises to complete, and lists pertinent questions to ponder. Overall, the intent of the manual is to develop effective internship tools and refine your internship selection process. Throughout the manual, we have included examples from a variety of recreation and leisure service specializations, e.g., outdoor recreation, therapeutic recreation, commercial recreation, to illustrate important points and concepts.
